Outside

This is a picture of cars trapped in a fence, and it symbolizes rules or something.

We chose this picture because it shows how different other countries' cultures are. This seems weird tio us, but it is traditional in their culture.
It was taken in Barranquilla, Colombia, during a parade.
At first glance, you wouldn't notice that he's not even wearing shoes. He's just painted from head to toe in gold paint.
I like this photo, because the dancer looks like he's really into character, and is really energetic, which makes me want to see the whoke dance they're doing.

New Year

2012 seemed like it went by in flash for me. I'm gonna have to get used to writing 2013 as the date for everything. Even though it seemed quick, I learned a lot within the length of a year. Not just from school, but about life in general. For example, I learned how to manage my time a lot better. I used to forget everything and I would only actually do half of the things I needed to. I still forget some things, but I've gotten a lot better. Also, I feel like I have a better understanding of the world around me. I know much more about atoms and materials that are used in our everyday lives. I learned most of it from my dad teaching me. He tells me a lot about things like that.

Also, since it's the new year, everyone is making resolutions. Resolutions are supposed to make you a better person and do better in whatever it is you want to, but people only follow them for a month at most. The problem, is people only think about achieving their new year's goals, then, when the year isn't new, they forget about their goals. Therefore, instead of waiting until the new year to improve yourself, do it all the time.
